November 2024
Tuesday 19th November : ZOOM
Dr David Jones will give a presentation on the Ecology of British Earthworms via Zoom at 8pm on 19th November. Links to the Zoom meeting will be circulated to members via email.
Members may recall Dr Jones's first talk to BNHS was on the 10 deadliest organisms in the world. We enjoyed that entertaining presentation so much that he was invited back to talk on rainforest ecology; which was again very well received. His third visit to us will almost certainly be as fascinating and enjoyable as the first two.
David Jones is a Scientific Associate at the Natural History Museum in London.
